I made this tonight and it was so delicious! My home had such a wonderful fragrance. The only thing I did differently was coat the beet stew meat in a mixture of flour, pepper and salt. This thickened the gravy. I just loved all the different autumn spices infused in the beef and chunks of onion. Thanks for the great recipe.

Ahhhh, I love these stews that teeter with sweet and savory. When done right, cinnamon is a great spice in savory food.

Hey Alex. You are right, there is no liquid in this stew other then beer. And as for the pumpkin; I have no idea how much I used, so just use your own wisdom in deciding how much you want to have in there. And thanks for pointing me to the bay leaf mistake. I am not a native english speaker, so sometimes (many times) I make mistakes!

The only liquid in this stew is beer. Is that right? No stock? How much pumpkin should be used? You said a medium-sized pumpkin but for those of us that don’t know what that is, can you list grams too please? Also, bayleaves and bayleave aren ‘t words. Yeah I’m being a dick but today sucks and I’m tired. I like your pictures.
